Networking

We have been, or are, affiliated with the following networking groups. These groups were instrumental in building our business and establishing our reputation in the Seacoast, NH area through word-of-mouth advertising. We have found these groups are not just a referral source for clients, but have also been the means to develop meaningful relationships with several of our colleagues, friends, mentors, and associates. The names of each group serve as a link to their website, where you can find membership information, locations, dates, times and the various events provided by each.

BNI provides a structured environment for the development and exchange of quality business referrals. It is a great educational resource for those new to the world of networking. The individual and group are accountable for referral effort results. The commitment to building these referral sources is reinforced by weekly attendance by members. Membership is limited to one member per profession and there is an annual membership fee. Several chapters are in existence, and local NH chapters are listed on the BNI-NH website.

Formed in 1994 with 50 charter members, the Greater Barrington Chamber of Commerce has evolved over the years toward further promotion of small businesses and currently offers many business networking events.

Very affordable annual fee, and rewarding involvement in community events and fundraisers. Check out the website for locations and times.
